Exhaust cost for Focus ?

Hi, does anyone have any idea how much a new exhaust fitted on a 1.6 Ford Focus ( 51 plate) would be roughly just so I have an idea ( I am in Liverpool if anyone can recommend somewhere too !) Thanks in advance.

    which part? they come in a few sections. ive had the manifold/downpipe done on mine,timax aftermarket part done at rapid fit was £180.
    i asked for a price for the cat back part and it was around £120.

    this was last year though so prices may have gone up since then.

    Ford will say "replace the whole thing at £200 + labour" - which at a Ford garage probably works out at £300 or so.

    Depending on what you actually need you may get away with just a back box or just a middle bit and back box.

    Middle bit + back box on 2000/V just cost me £200 which is probably a little high but I know the garage and am willing to pay a little extra for the assurance of their work.

    Have a read of this;

    Just had the downpipe done, garage quoted £270. Got it done for £99 parts and a slab of tinnies.

    It's the exhaust without the down pipe I got a quote today from Budget £109 fitted..seems good to me ?

    I don't think you'll do massively better.
